Can birth injuries be prevented?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Many birth injuries can be prevented. And it goes directly to the level of care that's provided by our physicians and our hospitals, Many times doctors, or people that are in charge of the pre-natal care, for a mother who's expecting a child don't do what they're supposed to do. They don't monitor the mother's blood sugar. They don't determine whether she's diabetic and going to have a large baby that won't fit through the birth canal. These are very important things that have to be done. If a baby's too large and can't fit through the birth canal and a cesarean section is not performed, it's a formula for disaster. And many times will end up with trauma to the child, it can cause death, cerebral palsy, brain damage. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.

Why are large passenger vans prone to accidents?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

The most dangerous vehicle in my experience on the road today is surprising to most people. It's a fifteen passenger van. It has a high center of gravity and once it's loaded up with people and equipment, its handling characteristics change and in bad weather or emergency maneuvers, it can fishtail and roll over. When it rolls over, because its structure is very weak, the roof collapses. When this happens, the injuries can be devastating especially with fifteen people. You have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and death. Most people don't realize it - these vans are out they're. They're used by schools, sports teams, hotels, livery services. People ride in them every day and they're completely unaware of the magnitude of the injuries that can occur in one of these vans. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.
